"The threads on cables imho have no basis in reality. Yet there are hundreds of them that go on and on."

Sure they do. Those cable threads are about guys who actually own the cable or are contemplating actually buying some, being challenged by the guys who think expensive cables are nonsense. This threads non reality is he isn’t contemplating  buying anything, let alone $50,000 speakers. Just another one of his couple hundred "please pay attention to me" threads. He seems a decent, amiable, harmless fellow. I’ve no idea why he insists on fabricating this nonsense.

I’m in possession of a curious nature, and read, watch and listen to all manner of ideas and things. EG I subscribe to WaPo, the WSJ, The Guardian, Le Monde, Financial Times, Russian TV, The NY Times, Reason, etc. It is how you learn.

I am 70 years old. I am under few illusions about the world and the range of people in it. I will not get to see the changes in behaviors that mankind must make if it is to survive. I do my best to conform to some of those needed behaviors. And I initiated some changes, eg fighting and winning a case at SCOTUS (thank you, Nino Scalia) that changed constitutional law. The rest is for the next generation to do.

I am not here enough to understand who most of the players are. 
 

It seems to me, judging from some of his comments in the thread, that he is trying to coax a discussion about the political economy of audio. Not in so many words, but that’s sort of it in a nutshell and that’s why I responded, because that’s an issue for me as well. Not the issue, an issue. And why I made it more explicit. I did get under one persons skin. 
 

Theres a little bit of trolling in the way he’s going about it, which maybe makes it an administrator thing, but imo the people who are saying he is not “real”, just don’t want to pursue what he is hinting at. Which is fine, but then why not just ignore it? Theres an unconscious thing going on here. 
 

my two sense. 

Yes, I understand the basic premise of his point, it’s his weird way of delivering it.

Simply bring it up for discussion instead of this constant false personal investment.

My post about others posting wasn’t directed at you, it was for the guys who are giving him serious advice like he’s actually going to buy something. Either way, let him have his harmless fun. I'm out.
